October 23, 2015 Islam Says No to Jewish Homeland and State of Israel

“Islamic State released a video of a Hebrew-speaking militant threatening more attacks on Jews, underscoring the influence of social-media networks and the difficult task ahead for Israeli and Palestinian leaders trying to end weeks of violence.

The video was posted on YouTube and verified by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist groups. It shows a masked man with a rifle warning that “soon there won’t be even one Jew left in Jerusalem.”

“We are advancing toward you from every place. From the north, from the south,” the man says. “We will come to annihilate you.”

Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules the Gaza Strip, has urged Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to join what it has described as a Third Intifada, or uprising, against Israel. As in the past two weeks, Hamas called for “day of rage” protests on Friday, the Muslim day of prayer.”
